Hi I have a few. It's the new "clarity" clear vinyl. I have the leo kottke and 3 of the 45 sets, with a few more on order (2 Louis Armstrong and a Cannonball Adderly now)

I don't have the Kottke in another version, but this is great, very well recorded lp. Just not sure how much the SVP II helps. The 45's are a little better imho. I also like the packaging on the 45's. For $50 I feel like I am getting something, box, lp's plus the jacket.

Jfrech I haven't bought any vinyl in a while and only noticed Classic's red box set's release on display at a record store this past Thursday.No one at the store have listened to any of these Clarity SVP as of yet.While I was there I did buy Analogue Productions 45 rpm pressing of Somethin Else, Lord knows how many copies of this Lp Iv'e bought over the years, just love it though.

I just may buy Classic's pressing of Somethin Else for comparitive reasons and like always keep the best and sell off the rest.

I know Classic can do a great job once in a while with their re-issues, most notably from a few years ago a 45 rpm single side box set , Belafonte Live at Carnegie Hall, mind blowing good. It killed every single pressing that I ever had.

This new SVP vinyl process could very well be nothing but marketing hype, time will tell.
